  6. 6Use an OBD-II scanner to check for any related error codes that might indicate underlying issues.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools including a jack, jack stands, tire pressure gauge, and torque wrench.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and that the engine is turned off.

2. Tire Inspection and Balancing

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the wheel covers or hubcaps if present.
    2. Check tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge and inflate to the manufacturer’s specified levels.
    3. Inspect each tire for uneven wear, bulges, or foreign objects.
    4. If balancing is required, take the wheels to a tire shop to have them balanced on a balancing machine.

3. Suspension and Driveline Inspection

  • Sub-steps:
    1. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
    2. Inspect suspension components including struts, shocks, control arms, and bushings for signs of wear or damage.
    3. Examine the driveshaft and CV joints for any visible wear, cracks, or excessive play.
    4. Tighten any loose bolts or fasteners to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

4. Wheel Alignment Check

  • Sub-steps:
    1. After addressing any tire or suspension issues, have a professional perform a wheel alignment.
    2. Use a wheel alignment machine to adjust the camber, toe, and caster angles according to the manufacturer's specifications.
